PowerLock 16' Standard Tape Measure gives a 16 foot by 3/4 inch blade that handles common cabinet and woodworking layouts without excess bulk, so it stays practical for quick measurements on benches, saw stations, and installs. The Mylar polyester film on the entire blade protects the printed graduations from wear, helping the tape stay readable after repeated use in typical shop conditions. A chrome high-impact ABS case shields the internal spring and blade from bumps, which supports dependable retraction during day-to-day work. The secure blade lock holds the extended blade in place instead of creeping, which helps maintain accurate marks when you are working alone. The Tru-zero end hook is designed to provide accurate measurements from either inside or outside reference points, so cuts and parts fit closer to the intended dimension.
The Stanley Hand Tools chrome high-impact ABS case gives the PowerLock 16' Standard Tape Measure a rigid housing, so it feels solid in the hand during repeated extension and retraction. The 3/4 inch wide blade balances stiffness with flexibility, helping it extend smoothly for common spans without excessive weight. The secure blade lock keeps the blade fixed at working length, which simplifies solo measurements where one hand holds the tape and the other marks or positions material. The Tru-zero end hook allows readings from either the hook tip or the body edge, so carpenters and installers can work from inside corners or outside faces without changing tools. Combined with the Mylar polyester film protecting the blade, these details support consistent measuring performance across routine woodworking and installation tasks.
The 16 foot by 3/4 inch format of the PowerLock 16' Standard Tape Measure suits cabinet runs, shelving layouts, and many room measurements where lengths stay within that range. In a woodworking shop, the Mylar polyester film on the blade helps the graduations resist scuffing as the tape slides over plywood, laminate, and solid wood, so cut lists remain easy to read through repeated jobs. On site, the chrome high-impact ABS case handles being set on concrete floors or truck beds, supporting normal tool handling without compromising the internal mechanism. The Tru-zero end hook lets installers read accurately from inside jambs, carcasses, or recesses as well as from outside edges, which helps parts align to drawings or field dimensions.
The secure blade lock on this Stanley Hand Tools tape measure prevents creeping once engaged, so an extended blade stays where it is set while users scribe lines or transfer dimensions between pieces. This stability helps reduce small shifts that can cause accumulated error across multiple components. The 3/4 inch blade width supports a manageable standout over typical distances used in cabinetry and finish work, which keeps the tape easier to control when reaching across boxes or work surfaces. Mylar polyester film along the entire blade protects the printed scale from frequent contact with edges and fasteners, so reference marks remain visible even as the tape sees daily use. The Tru-zero end hook contributes to accurate readings whether it is hooked over an edge or pressed into a corner, which is important when fitting doors, panels, or trim to tight tolerances. Together, these characteristics help the 33-116 PowerLock tape maintain measurement consistency across repeated projects.
